Novocherkassk students became the second at the anniversary "CASE-IN"

The team of Novocherkassk Polytechnic "Mulberry" took the second place in the final of the Student League of the jubilee X International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the field of Automation and IT. The winning teams of the semifinals from universities in Russia and Belarus met on May 25-27 at the NUST MISIS site to determine the strongest in ten different areas at once.

FITU students - third-year students Daniil Shakhov, Daria Zubova, Semyon Semenist and first-year student Evgeny Davydov - participated in the CASE-IN championship for the first time. During the selection and semi-finals, they held the leadership in the Student League in the field of Automation and IT. Of course, the representatives of the Faculty of Information Technology and Management were motivated to win and put a lot of effort into achieving a high team result in the finals.

The developer of the case assignment was Gazstroyprom JSC, the general contractor for the construction of Gazprom facilities. The topic of the case for both the qualifying, semi-final, and final rounds sounded the same: "Industry 4.0: machinery and personnel management in a construction organization."

"The case was actually unusual, - team captain Daniil Shakhov shares his impressions. - We received a very limited set of data without any explanations to them. Our task was to figure out what could be optimized in order to complete the task. As we progressed in the championship, from the qualifying stage to the final, we were given a little more data and the requirements for the result changed a little: the concept of the idea in the selection, the working prototype of the information system in the semi-finals, and the working system in the finals. I think we pretty accurately "hit" the problem and made a fully working system, taking into account all relevant requirements: import substitution, security, understandable costs. And it was all beautifully and competently presented."

Daniel expressed his gratitude to his team for their excellent work. If the captain studies with Semyon and Daria in the same group and has already "eaten" more than one pound of salt, then freshman Evgeny Davydov joined the guys recently. «It was the right decision., - Daniel is sure. - Zhenya helped to see the problem from a different point of view, identify shortcomings and correct them in time. I think we have a great team! We do not intend to stop in second place, I think we will win gold next time.

Evgeny Davydov, the youngest member of the Mulberry team, remembered the nightly "brainstorming sessions" when he had to fully immerse himself in the problem.

 The "highlight" of our solution is its reliability, - Zhenya is sure. - The most pleasant moments of the championship are the performance in the final and, of course, our high place."

"Yes, we are extremely happy with our result., - Daria Zubova picks it up. - But, to be honest, we were aiming for a gold medal. Therefore, our list of goals includes getting to the coveted cup of the winners of the "CASE-IN" championship.

Semyon Semenist echoes his friends.: "The main advantage of our solution is that we use the domestic 1C platform. And the secret of Mulberry's success is our team, our communication with each other and how we approach the solution. Now our common goal is victory!"

"The guys are engaged in our student scientific laboratory "Applied Informatics" at the Department of Information and Measurement Systems and Technologies and are actively working towards the development of software solutions on the domestic 1C: Enterprise platform, - says the mentor of the team Svetlana Nikolaevna Shirobokova, associate professor of the Department of IIST and head of the laboratory "Applied Informatics". - I am glad that their start in the "CASE-IN" championship, which came during the anniversary season, turned out to be so successful! I would like to wish the guys further breakthrough success in developing innovative IT solutions that help strengthen the technological independence of our country!"
